My 67 427/390 runs great. It has a M20 wide box with a 3.08 rear. The only annoyance is when I pull out from a stop it tends to stumble or fall flat. Does this sound like and issue with the Holley carb such as accelerator pump or float adjustment? No other problem and at cruise,WOT or any other time it runs fine.

Re: C2-427/390 hesitation
The clearance of between the accelerator pump lever and the carb linkage is very small to allow for instant pumping of gas into the carb above the throttle plates to prevent stumble or falling flat. The accelerator pump may also require replacement. After running the engine, turn it off. Remove the air cleaner. Open the throttle plates observing the two nozzles squirt gas. If it is not a steady strong stream during the movement of the throttle plates there could be a restriction of the flow from the accelerator pump. There is rubber flow control valve that is installed in the metal of the fuel bowl that prevents the accelerator pump action from pumping fuel back into fuel bowl when the pump action is used when accelerating. The flow control valve allows fuel to enter the cavity. It may not be sealing like it should.- Top
